MoN18: Eighteenth Mathematics of Networks meeting 8th April 2019 – Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford

The eighteenth Mathematics of Networks meeting was held on 8th April 2019 at the Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford. The theme for this meeting was dynamics on networks and dynamics of networks. Thanks to Andrew Mellor and Ebrahim Patel our local organisers. The organizers are grateful to The Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (IMA) for sponsoring this meeting.
